February Half Term in your local library!
Date: 12th Feb 2021 @ 9:37am
Hello everyone!
It's Half Term next week and Greater Manchester Libraries are putting on some fantastic FREE activities!
Free half term craft bags
These are available at the following libraries:
Avenue Library in Blakely
Abraham Moss Library in Crumpsall
Beswick Library
Newton Heath LIbrary
North City library in Harpurhey
The bags are filled with craft activities, colouring sheets, puzzles and word searches to keep children entertained over the holiday. You can also choose a free gifting book from your library. Supplies are limited so it's first come, first served for parents to collect at their local libraries.
International Mother Language Day
Manchester is a richly diverse city with around 200 languages spoken here. Whatever language you and your family speak at home, we want to share and learn about each other's wonderful traditions and cultures and so we have a great free programme of multilingual things to do on the Manchester Libraries Facebook page:
